Hi, I think that this is my first post. I follow the mailing list and read as many of the emails as I can.
I'm going to make a few proposals. I have obtained some money to spend on them. I use and get paid for my nutch expertise. I have some experience. I don't just speak for myself but also for some people who use nutch now, have a commercial interest in nutch and who will contribute money to the effort. This money is not a great deal but it could both escalate and become ongoing. I sympathize with the people who are (with no offense to any "side", if there really is one) the "complainers". I am grateful to the coders. I can and do make code improvements to nutch for my own uses that nobody ever sees. I have a web interface (sort of), and many other tools that work with nutch, from maps to communication with nutch via telephone. I expect to gain from my association with nutch although how I can't really put my finger on yet. I wouldn't say that I'm frustrated - I'd describe it more as a feeling of hope mixed with helplessness and despair. I think the moment is almost gone. I"m old and scatterbrained and don't spell check or reread before I post. I will elaborate as soon as I see this on the list - but I don't like to type until I know what I have to deal with, I have about 3000 emails a day to sift through and I have so many email addresses I've signed up for that I never really know whether I'm going to hit the wrong list or something or whatever. Greg.
